Choose the incorrect statement in the following :

Options

A. Surface tension is the force acting per unit length perpendicular to the line drawn on the surface of the liquid
B. Surface tension of a liquid increases with increase in temperature
C. The SI unit of surface tension is `Jm^(-2)`
D. Viscosity is a measure of resistance for the flow of liquid

Answer

B

Explanation

As the intermolecular forces of attraction decrease with the rise in temperature, the surface tension of a liquid, thus decreases with increase in temperature.
